Jeez, I can't believe no one took your offer. Dude, i'd love to play a quick battle PBEM with you but i can't because...Ohhh, nevermind, you know why ------------------ The dead know only one thing - it is better to be alive

I've run across this one before, this is what i do: 1)Highlight the entire file text starting from and including the header. 2)Right click and chose copy. 3)paste onto Windows notepad or equiv. text editor 4) save-as into the CM folder (best to rename file) 5)Start game and follow normal PBEM procedure Works for me ------------------ The dead know only one thing - it is better to be alive

Hello Coe, I'll try to answer a few, 1) You can't gain any LOS info from a spot that is not occupied, it is unrealsitic. Also, the AI can't do it either. 2) I believe there is only one 'foxhole depth' for dug-in AT guns. 4) AT pillboxes can set their own ambush markers, which will make them hold their fire. As to MG bunkers, i believe Charles fixed it so they too can have ambush markers (not quite sure on that one) I hope this helps. Also try the search option, i know your ammo question has been disscused before. ------------------ The dead know only one thing - it is better to be alive

I once had a Sherman become immobolized in the mud of CE just seconds after the game began. From his location he went on to destroy 2 stugs and expend his entire HE load on German infantry on the ridge. So yes they are still lethal. ------------------ The dead know only one thing - it is better to be alive

Thanx Mikester ------------------ The dead know only one thing - it is better to be alive

Sorry, no phone number ( can you imagine if Manieri got a hold of that ) try e-mailing them directly. Also, they are shipping the game via USPS not UPS, big difference (don't ask) ------------------ The dead know only one thing - it is better to be alive

Question, O' learned ones! With the exception of the recently D/L patch, should i delete all the old beta and gold demo files from my CM folder when it comes time to install the game? Is there anything i should keep, do? Just want to get the nest ready for the egg ------------------ The dead know only one thing - it is better to be alive

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Mannheim Tanker: IIRC, the experience levels are: 1. Conscript - almost no training 2. Green - training, little/no combat 3. Veteran - some combat, with perhaps some green soldiers mixed in 4. Crack - lots of experience (rare on the battlefield) 5. Elite - Godlike experience and training. Very, very rarely found. Therefore, the question is, does one battle promote a green unit to a veteran unit?

Kump, It's good to see you calmed down and came around, but there is one more thing you need to do to set things right again. Edit your post and take out the negative things. Maybe you can start it off with "BTS must take all the blame...for making me lose sleep over such a great game" or whatever, you think it up. My point is right now there are dozens of new CM fans opening up this site and we (the CM sales force) need to make sure they don't get the wrong impression. Afterall they are going to be the deciding factor in whether we all see CM2,3, or CM4. And you do want to see those games, don't you? ------------------ The dead know only one thing - it is better to be alive

The plan is to make 3 more games. CM2-Eastern Front CM3-Med, Italy CM4-western front (early years) Of course all of this is dependent on the success of CM1, which in my opinion will be huge. ------------------ The dead know only one thing - it is better to be alive

Kump, I have to ask, what possible reason did you have to post that topic. If you have a beef with BTS why didn't you e-mail them directly, rather than using this forum to vent? The first sentence you wrote states : "I know that i will eventually get the game", and still you found it necessary to bitch in the one place that is visited by dozens of new CM fans. Nice move.

From the what i've read, TCP/IP would be a nice option to have. Just by reading this thread you see there is a demand for it, so why not have it? Having said that, i will probably not use it. I don't see myself having 3-5 hours of spare time to play out a game, much less reserving that time in order to be on-line with my opponent. Real life has a way of cutting my game time into 10-20 minute chunks a day. Nevertheless, if by having TCP/IP as an option will get 5-10 more people to order CM, then WTF, put it in ------------------ The dead know only one thing - it is better to be alive

Cujo99, Your best bet is to post this in the Tech support section of the forum. Pretty much everyone there has the game, so they have a better idea of what to do. The rest of us here are still waiting for the game.....Patiently ------------------ The dead know only one thing - it is better to be alive

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Capt. Manieri: but if it doesn't come on Friday, I'll e-mail him and I encourage all others to do the same.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Capt, I'd suggest you re-think that game plan. The last thing Steve needs is a stampede of bitch-mail. The game is on it's way, just relax. I haven't received it either and i'm cool about it. Consider this: What would happen if the game shows up a day after your bitch-mail? What are you going to say then? Take a moment and think about it. ------------------ The dead know only one thing - it is better to be alive

Gosh Doc, I feel for you. Not only do you not have the game, but my Panther is going to pop your last Sherman in our VoT PBEM when i get home tonight. And then it's on to victory! Have a nice day ------------------ The dead know only one thing - it is better to be alive

KoP, I don't understand. You have the game in your HD, you have 50 ready made scenarios to chose from, dozens more from other sources, the option to create thousands more with the DYO generator, and your day is ruined because a Panther pops 4 Shermans? ------------------ The dead know only one thing - it is better to be alive
